Thiago Silva makes Chelsea vow; comes clean on West Brom blunder Chelsea defender Thiago Silva is determined to learn from his mistake that led to West Brom’s second goal in Saturday’s 3-3 draw at The Hawthorns. The 36-year-old fluffed his lines by miscontrolling the ball to let Callum Robinson through on goal. The Albion forward bagged his second of the match on 25 minutes to shock the Blues. Kyle Bartley made it 3-0 just two minutes later. Frank Lampard’s outfit, however, showed their class to hit three after the break and ensure a draw. They now sit sixth in the Premier League standings. The Baggies netted their first point of the fledgling campaign and are 16th after three games – but there is a sense they should have taken all three. Silva moved to Stamford Bridge from Paris Saint-Germain on a one-year deal in the summer. Lampard hopes his experience will help the side challenge for silverware. The Brazil international, who is targeting a place in the Selecao squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, spent eight years at the Parc des Princes. He won seven Ligue 1 titles while lifting the Coupe de France on five occasions. Add to that six Coupe de la Ligue titles and it is clear that Chelsea have brought a winner to west London. The South American was part of the PSG side beaten 1-0 by Bayern Munich in the delayed Champions League final on August 23. But despite his stellar career, Silva is big enough to own up when things do not go his way. “I am upset, but I take responsibility for the mistake I made, as I always did,” he wrote on Instagram. “As difficult as it may be, we have to get over this and move on.” There comes a time in everyone’s career when performances begin to drop off. It remains to be seen whether Father Time has caught up with Silva but he assured fans of his dedication to the Chelsea cause. “I promise to all of you that I will give everything I have on the pitch, putting all my energy and commitment into the games to come,” he added. Lampard urges more from Chelsea While not mentioning Thiago Silva by name, Lampard was critical of his charges for their error-strewn display in the West Midlands. In what is expected to be a fierce battle for top-four spots, every point matters and the England legend feels his side dropped a couple.

Lampard urges more from Chelsea

While not mentioning Thiago Silva by name, Lampard was critical of his charges for their error-strewn display in the West Midlands.

In what is expected to be a fierce battle for top-four spots, every point matters and the England legend feels his side dropped a couple.

Lampard told Sky Sports: “To come here and make mistakes, which we knew they would capitalise on and also at set-pieces, you can’t legislate for pure mistakes.

“We showed character and resilience, but we would not need to have done if we did things properly in the game.

“We will get better and today was part of the process in that – but we lost two points.”
